About This Quote

In the beginning of this quote, there is a sense that this young man has fallen for the heroine. He has been falling for her from the moment he first saw her. However, as he continues to talk to her, he becomes more and more enamored of her. While he is falling for her, she is still not falling for him.

In fact, she is quite annoyed with him. His description of her hair makes her angry and she even says that his effusive rhetoric leaves her breathless. At this point in the conversation, the hero feels as though he is falling for this girl but she is not falling for him at all so it looks as though there may be a problem in his romantic plans.
